Odometer Gear in 1978 Volvo

Hello

I have a 1978 Volvo sedan with a broken odometer. I took
the instrument panel out this weekend and found the big
gear right next to the one mile odometer gear is spinning
on the shaft. I have two question

1. Is this the gear that is usually broken ?



2. Where can I found this gear?




Thank you in advance

That's a pretty common problem. There's no source I know of for that gear,
but some have had success with a drop of superglue to keep it from spinning
on the shaft. It wouldn't be horrendously expensive to produce a batch of
them but you'd want to make quite a few at once.

 

Try:

This guy makes them (onesey twosy, I think, as need)

Check the mechanical gears area of the website. Count the teeth on your
gear and then order.

 

  I bought a Volvo 240 gear from him and my meter working fine again now.
